Systems and methods are provided for determining whether or not users of a communication network are implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) when authenticating with an entity's business tools, applications, and cloud services. This information can be used as component in the calculation of a risk score that can help quantify and assess the risk posture of the entity. In some embodiments, network traffic flow metadata may be used to anonymously identify user data to assess the entity's use of MFA in determining enterprise risk that may not rely on questionnaires, surveys, manual data entry, and/or interviews. Embodiments of the application can produce a real-time analysis of the security risk of the system.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the signature calculation process is a dynamic time warping process.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein a subset of the plurality of digital signatures are associated with an unclassified authentication process.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the subset of the plurality of digital signatures that are associated with the unclassified authentication process are compared with the reference model using a cosine similarity process.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the subset of the plurality of digital signatures that are associated with the unclassified authentication process are classified as multi-factor authentication based on similarity to the reference model or based on an absolute values of cosine calculations.
7. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 6, wherein the signature calculation process is a dynamic time warping process.
8. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 6, wherein a subset of the plurality of digital signatures are associated with an unclassified authentication process.
9. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 8, wherein the subset of the plurality of digital signatures that are associated with the unclassified authentication process are compared with the reference model using a cosine similarity process.
10. The non-transitory computer program product of claim 8, wherein the subset of the plurality of digital signatures that are associated with the unclassified authentication process are classified as multi-factor authentication based on similarity to the reference model or based on an absolute values of cosine calculations.
12. The computer system of claim 11, wherein the signature calculation process is a dynamic time warping process.
13. The computer system of claim 11, wherein a subset of the plurality of digital signatures are associated with an unclassified authentication process.
14. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the subset of the plurality of digital signatures that are associated with the unclassified authentication process are compared with the reference model using a cosine similarity process.
15. The computer system of claim 13, wherein the subset of the plurality of digital signatures that are associated with the unclassified authentication process are classified as multi-factor authentication based on similarity to the reference model or based on an absolute values of cosine calculations.
